Hi WBF'ers, just a little q re tt isolation. It seems that Stillpoints are a big fave of many here, whether Minis, SS's or Ultra5's. Personally I'm getting great results with my Symposium Acoustics Isis rack and Rollerblocks isolation. Now this is all great when you have one fixed component, whether a pre amp/power amp/cdp/or even maybe spkrs. But what happens when one has a non suspended tt with a SEPARATE motor pod?
In effect, if I was to install Stillpoints etc under my analog rig, I'd place one each under the 3 feet, and 3 in a group under my motor pod. But since the vibrations in the pod are going to vary from the vibrations in the tt/platter, what will happen at the interface of motor and platter (in my direct rim drive tt, a delrin wheel, or a belt in most other tts).
Even if the solution is advantageous in both seperate components, would discontinuity be present at the motor-platter interface, and hence defeat the whole purpose? If so, does this mean that a tt w/separate motor pod is the one audio device that individual isolation can't easily be recommended?
